This will be a discussion more than anything else because truth be told I don't have the time to look into it + I rarely shutdown/restart the laptop, but I am just curious if anyone else has experienced something similar with their hardware.
Story time:
It has been happening for about 2 months now, like I said I don't regularly turn off or reset my systems but the last few times I have been forced to do so due to windows updates etc, I noticed the laptop (MSI GT72S 6QE) tends to shut down shortly after windows is loaded. I will try to diagnose it when I have time, I am thinking to have a good look at what programs are actually loaded with windows.....but still software should not cause a hard instant shutdown like that. Hopefully it will not get any worse :) I can only imagine how much laptop repair costs in Switzerland -_-
Does anyone have experience with similar symptoms?

PS: If the shutdown does not happen shortly after boot into windows...then it will not happen even under load. Weird eh?!!
